The GefenToolbox Extender for HDMI 3DTV

The GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI 3DTV extends HDMI including multi­channel digital audio at resolutions of up to 1080 Full HD and 4K (4096 x 2160
@ 24Hz) up to 330 feet (100 meters) using one CAT-5e cable for the extension.
This product also provides an IR back channel to control AV sources using the
same CAT-5 cable extension. Using this channel with the built-in IR “eye” on the
receiver, or an optional RMT IR Extender, simply point IR remote(s) of the A/V
device towards the display to control Hi-Def sources as if they were located in the
same room or proximity to the display.

How It Works

Locate the GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI 3DTV Sender unit next to the video
source equipment. Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the source to the
Sender unit. The Receiver unit is located close to the display which can be up to
330 feet (100 meters) away from the Sender unit. The display plugs into the back
of the Receiver unit. For IR extension, either the Receiver should be located so
the internal IR “eye” can see the IR signals at the display location, or an external
Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIR IR Extender may be plugged into the Receiver and
located near the display. Connect a Gefen EXT-2IREMIT IR Blaster to the Sender
and locate the blasters near the source equipment. Only one CAT-5e cable
connects the Sender and the Receiver units to each other. Multi-channel digital
audio is embedded into the HDMI signal.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 3DTV

• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters).

• Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded
(UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable.

• The Extender for HDMI 3DTV features the ability to generate compatible

EDID and Hot Plug signals for troubleshooting purposes when dealing with
difcult interfacing issues between Source devices and Displays. See pages

9 - 10 for details.

• HDCP content is not supported when the unit is in DVI mode. See page 10
for details.

NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C
motors.
